Intro:
ABm7CD, A (n.C)
Verse 1:
ABm7 Like a sound you hear, that lingers in your ear, CDABm7CD But you can't forget, from sundown to sun-set, now. ABm7 It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere, CDABm7C No matter what you do; it's gonna grab a hold on you. DAmFE7 Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 1:
B7D They say the sun comes up, every morning now, B7D And if you listen, oh, so careful-ly. AAmaj7DB7C#7 The winds that ride, on the high time, whistle in melo-dy.
Chorus 1:
AAmaj7 And so the people started to sing, F#m7B7 And that's how the surf gave birth, un-told, AmFABm7CD To California soul, California soul.
Verse 2:
ABm7 When you hear the beat, you wanna pat your feet, CDABm7CD And you've got to move, 'cos it's really such a groove. ABm7 Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind, CDABm7C And you can't go wrong, 'cos you're groovin' all day long. DAmFE7 Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 2:
B7D They had the melody and the beat, B7D But it still didn't seem com-plete. AAmaj7D Until they saw two lovers kissin'; B7C#7 They knew just what was missin'.
Chorus 1:
AAmaj7 So happy they were, rockin' and reelin', F#m7B7 Because they'd added that lovin' feeling. AmFABm7CD To California soul, California soul.
